- Description
- Federal Response to Radicalism in the 1960s is a fulltext, full image database of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation's previously classified files on prominent radicals and radical
organizations from 1959 to 1971. The files include published material such as newspaper clippings,
transcripts of meetings, internal bureau memoranda, and reports of special agents, which frequently
refer to information provided by confidential informants. A significant portion of the nearly 88,000
pages in the collection document COINTELPRO, the bureau's extensive "counterintelligence"
program against dissent in the 1960s. Subjects of the investigations include Abbie Hoffman, Malcolm
X, Cesar Chavez, Students for a Democratic Society, the Black Panther Party, and a number of white
supremacist groups. This Archives Unbound collection can be crossed search with another collection,
F
ederal Surveillance of African Americans, 1920-1984 in Advanced Search.
